Luscious Lemon Tahini Sauce

Given that Syrian fish recipes are usually very simple, my friend Hadi, also a passionate cook, and I started experimenting. Instead of drenching the fried fish in tahini sauce, which is what we usually do in Syria, we use tahini in the preparation. It gives a totally different result, in taste and in structure. We serve the dish with rice, which, though unusual, is delicious.

Homemade Tahini Sauce

Classically, tahini dressing is made by mixing it with minced garlic, lemon juice, and water to make a delicious, creamy sauce that is equally good as a sauce for fish or lamb as it is tossed over raw vegetables as a salad dressing.

But the dressing is flexible, and you can really modify it and make it your own depending on how you plan to use it. Blend in a little harissa or chopped jalapeño to add heat and fold it into mashed potatoes for something completely different and unexpected; stir in mint and serve it over a platter of dead-ripe summer tomatoes; mix in lime or sour orange juice instead of lemon, then drizzle the sauce over a complex chopped salad of six or eight fresh and pickled vegetables. 

But most of all, I love to use it to dress fresh, warm fish, its residual heat bringing out the sauce's flavors. Fish with tahini is a common dish along the coast of Lebanon, and I like to pair it with another very Lebanese recipe: buttery long-grain basmati with caramelized onion
